HAPPINESS SET FREE

May 14, 2013 //

Divorced and I remember how the emotions of this occurrence was overwhelmingly draining.  I wondered how can such beauty end up being so much pain?  I wondered when will it all end.  Shortly after the divorce I stood up taller and determined that I was living a new life; one that I embraced with love.  I realized that the appreciation for one another was no longer balanced.  I wrote this poem to salute the acceptance of change for the better.

HAPPINESS SET FREE

I saw an old house as being beautifully aged

You  saw the same house as worn and useless

I saw timely wisdom inside of the old house

You saw cracked paint and dull hardwood

I saw a solid foundation, restoration, crown molding, colorful painting, inspiration and creativeness

You saw hopelessness, irreparable damages, hard work, disdain, fruitless and dissatisfaction

Since your happiness is in my release

I sign over to you, your divorce decree

Now you are free to live without me and to satisfy yourself however you please

This old house with solid foundation, who beautifully ages, with full restoration from creative inspiration has new crown molding and colorful painting

LISTEN

May 14, 2013 //

There are times we must stop judging and just LISTEN to what another is saying. Our friends, our children, our family, even a stranger.  Do not complete their sentences.  Do not ignore their unspoken words. Do not encourage silence.  JUST LISTEN…

LISTEN

Smiling to cover the hurt

Laughter becomes the substitute for crying

Walking fast to slow the run

Having sex to forget it all

The next day is still the same

Layered emotions of unspoken words

Not certain if you or you will listen to what must be said

This is my life that is hanging by a thread

This constant storm that’s invisible to you

Keeps me confused and searching for

Who I am to be…

Where I am to be…

Are you willing to listen to me?

Can you understand my emotions?

Will you embrace what I am feeling?

Will you laugh at me again as I struggle to explain

The storm that I control in me

When I speak…Listen!!!

None, But A Mother

May 12, 2013 //

I used to wonder how my mom did it all after my dad was murdered.  Raising five children and making sure all was well with each of us.  Now that I am a mother, I realize she “just did it”.  Mother’s have practiced the phrase “JUST DO IT” since the beginning of creation.  Thank you mom for teaching me and allowing me to see you implement the “JUST DO IT MOVEMENT”.

NONE, BUT A MOTHER

Mothers, mothers

Don’t you fret

Jesus hears

Your prayers have been met

Feeling alone when husband, children are away from home

Planning each day to make sure life is easier for them to live their way

Hardly ever considering your life’s needs

Because you are wondering, “How can I please?”

Married, single

Single, married

Our hearts are filled with deeds to complete

Working, cleaning, cooking, washing, driving, managing,

Counseling, educating, learning

Giving, loving, praying, disciplining, and

Fathering for the absentee father

Is all that matters

Watching them grow,

Husband, children

Children, husband

Have been our forte’ you know

Many times when we think of loving ourselves we feel guilty and start cleaning the shelves

Sitting quietly Jesus does whisper

“You are my vessel, in you I am well pleased.

You give of yourself sacrificing your needs

Based on worldly standards you have been blessed with multiple doctorate  degrees

You are a virtuous woman indeed

Just as I rested, you must too

To finish what I have planned for you

You have stored up blessings from living my lessons

You walk and talk with my words in your heart

Your prayers I have heard

So take this time to rest your body and mind

Everything will be more than just fine

Married, single

Single, married

Stored up blessings for mothers you see

Take time to rest in me

I blessed these children with you with you,  you see

You are the only one that could mother them for me”

None, but a mother
